As the world wrapped itself
With this blanket of brightness
The sun outstretched its arms
Illuminating every existence
As the leaves swayed
To the songs of daylight
Grass and petals bathed in dew
The birds hum and took flight
While the rays journeyed onto earth
The skies paint themselves blue
I'm thankful to witness
This daily miracle with you
Being in awe of the world's beauty
You and I, under the same warm light
In a world of mistakes and fear
This definitely had to be right
In a reality of temporal pain
And of seemingly permanent death
Witnessing how the world rises with you
Gave meaning to my every breath
As I watched how the sunrise
Paused time and took your breath away
I finally decided that
This is where I'd love to stay

Sunrises with you, gave meaning to my every breath
Daylight really is a miracle <3

Taciturnly Rectify

With touches instead of words
Gently clinging to what would be lost
Unbroken gazes and absolute reticence
A softly given painful kiss, no matter the cost

The presence of doubt is inexistent
Turning backs as they exhaled
As the air cradled silence, they both knew
Thus the hearts are no longer ailed

Their proximity widened and widened
Neither looking back nor slowing down
Getting stronger while falling apart
No longer will their weary souls drown

They caught someone else's shooting star
Although previously perfect, they had to learn
It's better to hurt than to keep running with torches
Whose fire have flames that no longer burn

(Taciturnly = silently; Rectify = correct; Silently Correct)

Make way for another break-up poem ^-^

REDEMPTION

As the sound of the fireworks
Signaled celebration for the rest
As the night sky lit up with lights
It was the beginning of a test

Fireworks echoed the end
It was similar to the sound
Of breaking and collapsing
Of everything crashing down

The more the twists and turns
The more worth and excitement
The more the trials challenges
The more resistance to torment

As fireworks exploded in the sky
As fire rained downed onto earth
As the end echoed from the flames
A beacon of hope was given birth

A beacon enveloped in flames
Which tried to exterminate
An embodiment of strength
Which can never depreciate

Wrapped in burning flames
Which tried so ever
To turn it to nothing
But it didn't surrender

A Phoenix born from the ashes
A beacon that would not surrender
A Phoenix that lit up in darkness
A Phoenix that only gets stronger

A Phoenix that's brighter
Than anything ever seen
Born from fire that burned it
And stronger than what it's been

When there is nothing more but ash
And when it seems hopeless
Be your own Phoenix
And illuminate in darkness

So that everyone in doubt
And all of the hindrances
Will be in awe and no longer deny
Your immeasurable unwavering resilience

A Phoenix that wouldn't allow
The same flame, to burn it down
A Phoenix that turns fire
Into its glorious gown

A Phoenix that turns the end
Into a magnificent enviable crown
A Phoenix, even in a sea of fire
Wouldn't dare burn or drown

From the fire and ashes, it has risen
Unwavering strength and unyielding flame
Spreading its wings to soar once again
I am still me but no longer the same

I am stronger.

Xenophile

Xenophile not xenophobic
The strange attraction to
Foreign people or culture
Something or someone new

Unordinary experiences
Different emotions
New everything and
Unusual expressions

I've been introduced to
A different way of living
I'm now attracted to
This kind of loving

So much has changed
Ever since you came
Thanks to you
I'm no longer the same

My fetish isn't generally
For everything foreign or new
My strange attraction is for
Everything about you

You've made experience
Things that I never knew
Everything about you
Is refreshing and new

Your stare, your words
Your laughter, your smile
Your touch, your everything
Turned me into a xenophile

Retaliation

Realizing for the first time
That I indeed had a heart,
My heart thumped.
I felt it,
It was unlike anything before.
But it was too late
As I realized...
My heart was slowly,
Painfully,
Mercilessly,
Being pulled out of me.
Once out,
Knowing how fragile it was
They held it with care.
Then,
When I gave my trust
My heart was torn.
It was torn right in front of me.
As the helpless unknowing me
Watched it being teared,
I hear their laughter
Overpowering my cries.
As my heart became nothing
More than smithereens,
I watched them gather the pieces
Pretending to hand it back.
As I reached for it
They simply discarded it
And threw the remains...

While cringing my teeth
Trying as much as I can
And forcing to breathe
To be able to stand again
With nothing to lose
And everything to gain
I will redeem myself
I will retaliate this pain

What it felt like...

It's one thing to disappoint others
It's another to fail yourself.

A painful occurrence which you want to forget
It becomes a memory that you'll remember
Emotionally draining and scarring
You'd just wish for the pain to be over

The pressure experienced is breaking
Each passing second is excruciating
The expectations are absolutely choking
A battle with oneself that's too drowning

Overwhelming need to gasp for air
Becoming numb and mentally incapacitated
Screaming with a voice no one can hear
Inability to sleep and the desire to be sedated

Being given the chance to fight
Blessed with the capabilities to succeed
Tried to keep moving and going
No matter how much you bleed

Knowing you could've done better
If only you didn't hold back
Being told you aren't good enough
Blaming yourself for the lack

Being capable yet receiving a no
While being desperate for a yes
If only the fear of failure was overcome
Then you would never have felt this

Watching others finish the race
While you're trying to get back up
Living with the killing 'what ifs'
Hearing that you could've been good enough

Being given a key to the galaxies
A chance to view the glorious night sky
Received invitation to watch the sunrise
Only to see the sun vanish and die

Tiny Details

The sound of alarm starting the day
The feeling of the morning breeze
The smell of freshly made coffee
The taste of toasted bread and cheese

The pitter-patter of raindrops
The cozy and slow afternoons
The noontime TV programs
The dancing to our own tune

The painting of the clouds
Dyeing them red then blue
With us together under moonlight
Whispering goodnight and I love you

I remember yesterday's daybreak
You and I, under the same sun
Now, I awake to today's daylight
Facing the day, knowing you're gone
